Blueberries: Maine taxes them every which way: Anyone growing, handling, processing, selling or purchasing blueberries pays a tax of a penny-and-a-half per pound.

Fur: Come the day your Davy Crocket cap finally wears out, best not buy its replacement in Minnesota, which imposes a tax of 6.5 percent on the sale of fur apparel.

Nudity: Utah levies a tax on services provided by the unclothed. A jiggle parlor, for example, or any other business employing “nude or partially nude” workers, must pay a tax of 10 percent on services sold to patrons.

Tattoos: Arkansas doesn’t just tax tattoos (6 percent of sales). The Natural State applies the same tax to body piercings and electrolysis.

Playing Cards: In Alabama, your purchase of a deck of playing cards will be subject to a tax of 10 cents per pack.

Bagels: New York’s bagel tax applies an eight cent charge to altered bagels (ones sliced and schmeered) but not to ones uncut.
